Summer Skin Care

Ladies get your drinks or whatever cause this is gonna be a long read. :)

Yes, and we meet again!!, summers just arrived and while the basking sun and shining sand with a icy drink does all the trick, the skin quite does not enjoy so much. So lets share some summers pampering tricks, things my skin likes to feel and more...

Summers is that time when i like it less, so my cosmetic drawer takes a back seat (other than some nice evenings or parties) and my skin care stuff gets more air.

We often go to the parlors for every month routine but generally during the hot scorching heat i prefer to stay home and do some home facials or mask's in the cools and comforts of my home. In this blog i am gonna share some products and stuff which will make home facials more fun  and easy. So lets  dive in!!!

My skin type is oily, so this blog will be more helpful to girls with oily to normal skin. But since we are talking about heat and keeping the skin cool everyone is invited.



Home Facials:

1. So whenever i decide to go for a home facial myself, i start the process by generally lighting a scented candle (completely optional, love cinnamon, just saying..), it really adds that extra soothing touch to my mind and soul. Try it yourself, Oder online there are  many options available in the market.

2. I clean my face with a mild face        wash or a cleanser. Since i have a       oily skin i use bodyshop tea tree  face  wash range. For normal skin recommend any face wash with lemon or orange extract since it helps the  skin to cool. I recently tried the faceshop lemon face wash too and ladies its really good, but its only available at sephora outlets. If u can, try.

3. The next step is scrubing and is very crucial as it removes all the dead skin cells and makes way for a fresher healthier skin, remember not to over scrub or use hard pressure as it aggravates oil cells and it can result in breakouts. After trying a number of scrubs i finally found a very natural, raw, smooth option for my scrub and it is Fab India charcoal scrub.

After using this product i can't stop raving about it..its cheap, its natural, its healthy, it has smaller softer grains which does not hurt the skin, its black in colour made out of actual charcoal, so after washing it off it feels super clean and new. Highly recommend!! :)

4. Next after washing off the scrub, don't super dry your face with a towel, instead pat dry. Apply a good mask on, and get a nice nap till the mask dries. This step makes all the difference cause, only now u r letting the goodness of the mask sink in your all ready prepped skin.

I am currently using bodyshop tea tree mask, it specialises in oily skin treatment and takes out all the excess oil. But i keep my mask changing from time to time. So the other options are khadi, they are all  natural, easily available in khadi stores and effective. Faceshop sheet masks, these are in sheet form and extremely good for traveling, provides good moisturising and hydration to the skin, the watery extracts from the sheets gets inside the pores making the sheet dry in 30 minutes, you can definitely see the difference, and home made masks (such as besan, honey and curd) Try using natural mask as possible.

Bask in the glow while the candle continues to spread the aroma...home facials are more fun and simple then we think, we use authentic and special products in the comfort of the home. Play some music, get creative!!!

Remember the difference  lasts only a few days as your skin needs more water in hot weather.
Repeat the whole process twice or thrice a month.
